Till he come! O let the words
Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:26 Lyrics: 1 Till he come! O let the words

In their golden light be seen;
Let us think how heav'n and home
Lie beyond that "Till he come."
2 When the weary ones we love
Enter on their rest above,
Seems the earth so poor and vast,
All our life-joy overcast?
Hush, be every murmur dumb:
It is only till he come.

Would we have one sorrow less?
All the sharpness of the cross,
All that tells the world is loss,
Death and darkness, and the tomb,
Only whisper "Till he come."

Drink the wine, and break the bread:
Sweet memorials,--till the Lord
Call us round his heav'nly board;
Some from earth, from glory some,
Severed only till he come.

that we may nourish in your name
the last, the lost, the least,
until at length you call us all
to your unending feast.

The Judgment
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:26 First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming,
Not as once he came before,
Wailing infant, born in weakness
On a lowly stable floor:
But upon his cloud of glory,
In the crimson-tinted sky,
Where we see the golden sunrise
In the rosy distance lie.
2 He is coming, he is coming,
Not in pain, and shame, and woe,
With the thorn-crown on his forehead.
And the blood-drops trickling slow;
But with diadem upon him,
And the sceptre in his hand,
And the dead all ranged before him,
Raised from death, hell, sea, and land.
3 He is coming, he is coming,
Not as once he wandered through
All the hostile land of Judah,
With his followers poor and few:
But with all the holy angels
Waiting round his judgment-seat,
And the chosen twelve apostles
Sitting crowned at his feet.
4 He is coming, he is coming;
Let his lowly first estate,
And his tender love, so teach us
That in faith and hope we wait,
Till in glory eastward burning,
Our redemption draweth near;
And we see the sign in heaven
Of our Judge and Saviour dear.

Author: Haquin Spegel, 1645-1714; Olof Olsson, 1841-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 Lyrics: 1 The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord,
we celebrate with one accord;
it is our comfort in distress,
our heart's sweet joy and happiness.
2 He blotted out with his own blood
the judgment that against us stood;
he full atonement for us made,
and all our debt he fully paid.
3 That this forever true shall be
he gives a solemn guarantee;
in this his holy supper here
we taste his love, so sweet, so near.
4 His Word proclaims and we believe
that in this supper we receive
his very body, as he said,
his very blood for sinners shed.
5 A precious food is this indeed,
it never fails us in our need,
a heav'nly manna for our soul
until we safely reach our goal.
6 How blest is each believing guest
who in these promises finds rest,
for Jesus will in love abide
with those who do in him confide!
7 They who his Word do not believe
this food unworthily receive,
salvation here will never find—
may we this warning keep in mind!
8 Help us sincerely to believe
that we may worthily receive
your supper and in you find rest.
Amen! They who believe are blest.

Until he come.

With the last advent we unite--

Until he come.

Until the ancient graves be stirred,
And with the great commanding word,
The Lord shall come.

Let not our hearts be desolate,
But, strong in faith, in patience wait,
Until he come!

when darkness' power overcomes the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.

betrays himself into his victim's will;
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing,
sin brings about the cure for sin's own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hands to treason's,
and buys for death the ransom of mankind.

he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,

that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter's laughter and its liberty. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR

Take, drink, this is My blood."

And bitter death endure.

With comfort and salvation
Draws near to every breast.

To us, thine own, art near,
To lead us as our Saviour
Unto a Father dear,
A Father willing to forgive
The children Thou didst ransom,
Those who through Thee shall live.

Until our latest breath
Will we be true, and never
In joy, in grief, in death,
Depart from Thee, for Thou always
Art present with Thy people,
As Thine own promise says.

Jesus suffered in our stead;
by an ignominious death
he a full atonement made;
and by his most precious blood
brought us, sinners, nigh to God.
2 Christ bids each afflicted soul
"Come that I may soothe your grief.
No one who is strong and whole
needs a doctor for relief;
therefore have no fear, draw nigh,
that your want I may supply."
3 But examine first your case,
whether you be in the faith;
do you long for pard’ning grace?
Is your only hope his death?
Then, how e’er your soul’s oppressed,
Come, you are a worthy guest.
4 They who Jesus’ mercy knows
are from wrath and envy freed;
love unto our neighbor shows
that we are his flock indeed;
thus we may in all our ways
show forth our Redeemer’s praise.
